Knowledge not expected

In the last few weeks, I have read To Ride Pegasus, Pegasus in Flight and Pegasus in Space.  It is by Anne McCaffrey.  It was not long ago that I learned that those three where a trilogy set before The Rowan, Damia, Damia's Children, Lyon Pride and The Tower and the Hive.  I have already read the latter mentionned books already, long ago.    I had stumbled on The Rowan and it was on discount.  I was curious and the cover was catchy.  I bought it and I was hooked.  I found the other books, little by little and read them along.

So, for the Pegasus trilogy, I was not sure, at first, that it was a prequel.  It was as I read that the confirmation came.  Ending that trilogy, I decided to have a look at the author.  I was curious to see if there was more to that particuliar serie.  I also wanted to know more about the other books she had written.  I am not familiar with the Pern world and I have seen various Acorna books in bookstores long ago.  I never bought any Acorna books nor Pern books.  I don't remember noticing it was written by Anne McCaffrey.  It was time to know more about her written world.

A nice surprise is that much of her written books are set in the Federated Sentient Planets Universe.  Interesting to learn because I don't remember any mention in the few books I have read.  Second item I have learned: there is various series.  There are the Dragonriders of Pern, Brain and Brawl ships, the Crystal serie, etc...  The books I have read are falling into the Talents universe.  The final thing that I just realized is: in this universe, there are The Barque Cats serie.  I forgot that there was a barque cat in The Rowan.  It was her compagnion from pretty much the beginning.  So, I have not read that part of the serie.  It is a must have in the serie now.  There is only two books, a quick read, thinking of it.

I didn't expected to learn all of that.  Of course, my next read will be the books on the barque cats.  After that, I may try the Accorna serie, out of curiosity and if I will like that.  I am not sure if I will be intesrested into the Pern serie but I will start with only one book to see if I like it.  I don't want to buy the whole serie to discover that I don't like it.  All this was not expected but it was nice to discover.  There is a organization there and I didn't saw that.  It have an impact on me because it had lead me to think.  There is a thread that link many of my story.  It also lead me to think the first building block of a genesis for my magical universe.  There still a lot of thinking and decision making.  I am waiting of the next discovery to further that thinking.
